    Volume 3 Issue 3 Published by Lee Thevenet May - June, 2011 HORSELESS CARRIAGE REPLICA NEWSLETTER A Publication dedicated to the reporting of news, events, articles, photos, items for sale, etc, having to do with replica horseless carriages. Newsletter published six times a year and special issues when needed. From the Editor Hi everyone, Those of you who were not there, are the one’s that missed out on a great time, making new acquaintances and lots of great buys. Yes, I’m speaking about the Pre War Swap Meet that takes place each March in Chickasha, OK. Like every year before, there was a great time had by all that attended. Lots and lots of vendors showing their goods and beautiful cars to be had for the right price. For myself, this year’s trip to the candy store began a good twenty four hours before the meet was to begin, simply to be there when the vendor’s started to arrive. Remember the old saying “The early bird get’s the worm”. In this case, it was true. My quest this year was to find a very special part that would enable me to complete my REO build that has now gone past the completion time allowed to the project. The plans for the carriage had been completed and put up on the website quite a while back and the actual build, for the most part had been done for almost a year now, except for the final steps of painting and reassembly. Thus, the reason for not having any colored pictures on the REO Plans Page of the HCR.com Website.

    BMW Group Classic Presents the Completely Restored Roadster of the “King of Rock’N’Roll” for the First Time in Public at the Popular Classic Car Show in California

    Corporate Communications Press Release 04 August 2016 Elvis’ BMW 507 lives on: Comeback at the Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach. BMW Group Classic presents the completely restored roadster of the “King of Rock’n’Roll” for the first time in public at the popular classic car show in California. Munich. The glittering comeback is now following one of the most spectacular classic-car discoveries of recent times. The BMW 507 was driven by US musician Elvis Presley, famous already at that time as the “King of Rock’n’Roll”, while he was doing his military service in Germany. After that it disappeared for nearly 50 years and was believed to have been lost before returning to the limelight. After almost two years of exacting restoration work, BMW Group Classic is presenting the roadster for the first time in a public arena. Restored to its original condition, it will be exhibited on 18 August 2016 at the Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach, California. The BMW 507 with chassis number 70079 will be on view for visitors to the popular classic car show exactly as it was when soldier Elvis Presley took delivery of the car on 20 December 1958: with paintwork finished in Feather White, the 150 hp V8 aluminium engine under the bonnet, centre-lock rims, black-and-white interior and a Becker Mexico radio. “The opportunity to bring back the BMW 507 owned by the King of Rock’n’Roll to us here in Munich for purposes of restoration in accordance with the wishes of the previous owner, Jack Castor, was a dream come true for all those involved,” commented Ulrich Knieps, Head of BMW Group Classic.

Submitted to: Submitted By: BHUPINDER SINGH BAWA VIJAY KUMAR (AGM) ROLL NO 80101317057 PRESTIGE MOTORS MBA (2008-2010) 32 ACKNOWLEGEMENT “When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.” The concepts learnt in academics are of no importance until they are practically applied. In today’s world it is imperative for the students of any Post- Graduate course to keep pace with the changing technology innovations taking place across the world. In alignment with this, I prepared a Summer Report after my 2nd semester of MBA. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Bhupinder Singh Bawa (AGM – Prestige Motors) for giving me the opportunity to work with his esteemed organization. I would like to thank Mrs. Sonia Sharma (Sales Executive) for giving me product knowledge and their valuable support throughout the project. It was very enriching and enlightening experience to work under their valuable guidance. Without their support this project would not have been possible. I would also like to thank my parents and friends those who have given their support & contribution, whenever required. Finally and most important I would like to thank to faculty of GNDEC (Especially to Prop. Parampal Singh) to provide me with such an opportunity that has enhanced my learning horizon Last but not least, I thank the almighty, and may he stand with all of us.
